Bvlgari & MB&F Reimagine the Iconic Serpenti

Collaborations in watchmaking often bring together the creativity of a brand and its chosen partner, whether they be artists, athletes, or designers. However, it’s far rarer to see two well-known watchmaking powerhouses join forces. The partnership between Bvlgari and MB&F is a fascinating case, as both brands serve as creative forces in the industry with anything they put their hands on. 

Their latest collaboration, the Bvlgari x MB&F Serpenti, follows their 2021 partnership, which resulted in the MB&F x Bvlgari LM FlyingT Allegra launched at Dubai Watch Week. This time, the two brands reinterpret Bvlgari’s iconic Serpenti through the mechanical artistry of MB&F’s horological machines, merging biomorphic design with high-complication watchmaking in a way that only they can.

Cabochon

Is a specific style of gemstone characterized by a rounded, convex, and polished top surface without facets. The bottom side of the gemstone is usually flat. Cabochons are created from various gemstones such as sapphires, emeralds, or even semi-precious stones like Yemeni agate or mother-of-pearl. The cabochon style is often used as a decorative element on the crown, pushers, or as hour markers on watch dials.
